The topic of motivation came up Saturday and I wanted to share a presentation that I received earlier this year. It's a great keynote address by a student in the Dallas, TX school system. Definitely a great motivator! Here's the site: http://www.dallasisd.org/keynote.htm

I also wanted to touch on the teacher dress code topic. We have a bit of a problem at my current school with teacher dress code (or at least in some faculty members' opinions). We have faculty members that wear track suits, sweat pants, etc. all the time; and not members of the P.E. department. Often times, these are the teachers that complain about pay and I want to say that to be paid like a professional you need to dress like a professional. As future building leaders, what do you think should be the "teacher dress code" for all educators? Just curious...
